Bobcat Weekly Blast – August 14

We have had such a great start to the school year! Student devices are being distributed this week and we will have an Advisory period between 1st and 2nd period each day this week to continue to go over expectations. The counselors and myself will be doing grade level meetings with each grade level to make sure they know our names and faces should anything come up at all. The schedule is below:

Food Pantry Donations Needed:

ERA is proud to have a food pantry for those students in need. We would love to invite parents to help us stock it! Needed items include:

  • Mac N Cheese

  • Cups of Noodles

  • Granola

  • Chips

  • Fruit Cups

 

Picture Day

High school picture day is on Monday, August 21! Students need to report to school on time so they don’t miss their photo opportunity.

 

Senior portraits will also take place on Monday morning. Seniors need to arrive at school with hair and makeup ready for their portrait. Females need to wear a tank top or something where the straps can be pushed off shoulders so the drape lays correctly. Males should wear a plain white t-shirt so the tux looks uniform. Jostens will provide the tux and drape as well as pearls and bowties.

 

Here you’ll find a flyer for instructions on how to purchase and view portraits as well as information on make-up days.

Hospitality Donations:

   The Eno River Academy Hospitality Team is a teacher-led group looking to celebrate and encourage teachers on a regular basis. We do this by providing snacks in the workroom, celebrating teachers on their birthdays, organizing social events, sending flowers and cards on big occasions, throwing baby showers, and much more! We are also trying to provide some general school supplies for refill purposes like sticky notes etc. that are often purchased by teachers. If you would like to support teachers at ERA, please consider donating non-perishable snacks (see list below) or  donating to the school specifying that it is for “Hospitality.” There is also a QR code if you would prefer to order via Amazon and have it shipped to our hospitality committee. Thanks in advance for all your support!
